Giorgi Mushroom Company invests in Modern Soils to accelerate regenerative agriculture

Giorgi Mushroom Company announced an investment in Modern Soils, previously a wholly owned subsidiary of Modern Mushroom Farms.

Modern Soils, a regenerative agriculture company working on sustainable soils, transforms mushroom compost, a byproduct of mushroom cultivation, into eco-friendly products, including potting soils, land remediation blends, sustainable crop substrates and peat-free casing for mushroom farms.

“This isn’t just an investment; it’s a responsibility,” said Mark Currie, CEO of Giorgi Mushroom Company. “For nearly a century, Giorgi has fed communities across the nation. Now, we’re feeding the very foundation of life itself — the soil. Partnering with Modern Soils allows us to drive real, measurable change in how agriculture gives back to the planet.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Giorgi Mushroom Company as a strategic partner,” said Chuck Ciarrocchi, CEO and president of Modern Mushroom Farms and Modern Soils. “Their unwavering commitment to regenerative agriculture and sustainable innovation aligns perfectly with our vision for a healthier planet.”

The partnership with Modern Soils expands Giorgi’s regenerative agriculture portfolio, offering both consumers and commercial growers regenerative products that enhance biodiversity, improve soil health and reduce carbon footprints, the company said.

“Sustainability isn’t a buzzword; it’s a mandate,” Currie added. “The health of our soil determines the health of our future. By investing in regenerative systems like Modern Soils, we’re ensuring that growth doesn’t come at the planet’s expense, but in its service.”
